From WORST to THE BEST!!
Vont and Etekcity lights ARE GARBAGE.
* They have the lowest brightness
* They only turn on or off
* They have no true dim feature - everyone's eye adjust, after they adjust most people can dim their emergency lights to help them last longer.
* They have a FAKE DIMMING feature, the LEDs are just recessed into the housing to dim the lights but they are still using FULL POWER
Eveready & Duracell tie for the best!! In my home, we have both. They each have their strengths and weaknesses.
Eveready
* These are much brighter than the Vont and Etekcity
* These are not brighter than the Duracell
* These have multiple hanging points - making them more useful
* These also have magnetic mounting points!
* These also have a built in spot light / flash light
* It also has a red emergency blinker - nice, but really, when are you ever gonna really use this?
* The flood light itself only turns on or off
* They have no true dim feature - everyone's eye adjust, after they adjust most people can dim their emergency lights to help them last longer.
* They have a FAKE DIMMING feature, the LEDs are just recessed into the housing to dim the lights but they are still using FULL POWER
Duracell
* These are THE BRIGHTEST OUT OF ALL OF THEM!!!
* You cannot hang these anywhere - you can only put them on a flat surface
* They have TRUE DIMMING feature!!
* Everyone's eye adjust, after they adjust most people can dim their emergency lights to help them last longer.
What these all have in common - they all use standard AA batteries which are much longer lasting than the AAA type of LED lights. AA batteries have 3x the capacity of AAA batteries - so I never buy any LED light that uses AAA batteries.
I bought 2 each of the Eveready and the Duracell models for my home.
